I have a Crucial M500 960GB partitioned into a 128gb HFS+ for OSX, and the rest is a 'stuff' folder meant for exchange between Windows and OSX.

Initially this was NTFS which is of course read-only to OSX. There are ways, yes, but I wasn't so sure about them, drivers like NTFS3G or a terminal command to enable native read/write access. Then I re-partitioned and turned it into FAT32. That worked great except for that some disk images and huge movies don't fit under the 4gb limit there.

So - great idea! ExFAT right? It's used on memory cards and flash drives! It'll work great! So after copying all the stuff onto it, it stopped working after a reboot. It just showed up as as a greyed out disk1s4 in Disk utility. Mission failed. It's back to FAT32 for the time being.

What's the best file system to use for this?

I'm making *images* for the new thread now. Have a nice little flow chart. Close to being done with it, please be excited.

This is very nice. When El Capitan goes final I'm going to start from scratch with Clover this time.

I'm on an Asus Z97i Plus and GTX 970 but I'm not running El Cap quite yet - haven't had time to figure out why it won't boot setup yet. Probably setting my nvidia flags wrong.
